[POP PUNK] Just a warning to those planning to attend the Wavves show at the Tralf this Friday, May 19; maybe stay away from the balcony. Not because the Tralf is structurally unsound or anything like that, but because Wavves frontman Nathan Williams was recently videotaped doing a front flip swanton bomb into the crowd from the balcony of a New York City night club. It looked painful for him and the folks he landed on (though the band’s management maintains that there were no reported injuries), so who knows if he’s likely to try it again, especially if he’s looking forward to, you know, functioning on the band’s upcoming tour with Blink 182. He’s also got the release of Wavves’ next album, You’re Welcome to look forward to, which happens to come out on the very day of the band’s show in Buffalo, so he might not want to concuss those songs out of his brain before we all get a chance to hear them live. If you’re interested in getting a taste of the album before this Friday’s show, five of the 12 tracks are up for streaming on Apple Music right now, and rest assured, it’s full of the kind of noisey, metallic pop punk that we’ve all come to love from the San Diego-based band.
